So this is definitely wood veneer, but it looks like they disliked the wavey grain pattern and decided to turn it into a straight grain pattern. It looks like they scratched in the pattern, with what I don’t know, and then stained it. The piece is a door from a ship originally built in 1938, but I have no idea when these were added. Could be original, could be installed later. Trying to recreate the pattern so it looks like the rest of the paneling, and the natural grain is very different from everything else. We did t find this out until someone else refinished the one side and didn’t notice they had drastically changed the pattern. Any help with the technique used, even just the name, would be much appreciated.
